“I join our Muslim brothers and sisters as they mark the end of Ramadan and reaffirm their commitment to self-purification and jubilation. We collectively observe this event to praise Allah in thanksgiving for providing our nation the strength to endure the challenges of misguided ideologies, terrorism and violent extremism. I trust that the sacrifice of Muslim Filipinos during their month-long fas­ting has rekindled their faith and reawakened their sense of benevolence and empathy towards their fellowmen,” ayon sa inilabas na pahayag ng Pangulo.

“May love and understanding prevail over our land as we work hard for the ge­nuine transformation of the Philippines for every Filipino. I wish everyone a meaningful celebration,” mensahe ni Pangulong Duterte.
